Wilford Brimley? Didn't know he played tennis. Die a beet us!

I too wondered initially why he had a mustache in the 3rd panel. 😄

I think I need this one explained to me. Is halo a tennis term?

[-] [email protected] 27 points 5 months ago

I simultaneously posted the explanation as you asked. lol The halo is too bright as he tries to slumber.

I also thought he should’ve lost the halo as he uses God to damn the situation, but it’s just a comic so overthinking it isn’t warranted.

It’s also going to ruin his overhead smash.

What? Where is the explanation? I'm still not getting it

[-] [email protected] 17 points 5 months ago

the saying about angels getting their halos is assumed to be a good thing, but in the comic the angels actually really don't want a halo because it is very bright and makes it hard to sleep. Unless I'm missing another layer I think the tennis is just an arbitrary angelic recreational pass time that is known for having frustrated players break their rackets.

The angel is angry because someone did a good deed and he got a halo, but now when he goes to sleep at night, the halo glows so brightly that he can’t sleep. So doing a good deed and giving an angel their halo actually ended up being a bad thing for this particular angel.
